Yesterday a bit of a miracle happened — Lenchik stopped by. I can’t remember for sure, but I think that I haven’t seen him since the end of 2007. He stopped by once in 2010 when Arosha was one month old, but I was at work that day. It’s always great to reminisce and recollect some of the old shared memories — and we do have a lot. After all, we did grow up living in the same building and were friends ever since. Lenchik himself has a collection of great new stories — as always.

And Alena wrote a couple of words as well:

Yesterday we had a visit from Lenchik. We have not seen him in a while, so it was very nice to catch up. He was always a big (tall, strong) guy, but it seems that he’s gotten even bigger since the last time I saw him — I guess its a combined effect of being in Marine Corp and getting older. Aroshka really liked him, as he actually likes all our friends. Too bad Lenchik can’t visit us more often.

Lenchik, come by more often. We’re always glad to see you and your big smile around here. Misha told me today that Lenchik stopped by his house afterwards as well. He was very happy to see him as we were.

P.S. Lenchik has reached a level of Sergeant. Good progress, but he has a bunch more to go.

Here is a scene taped by Lenchik titled “Lenchik Meets Shublik”. The video has 2 awesome scenes — first is Shublik’s mean double paw attack and soon after that some crazy howl that we have never heard him make before.

Lenchik ended up getting some war wounds on his legs, but I think he became very fond of Shublik. He also advices we check Shublik for rabies that Shublik has possibly contracted from Lenchik.

Posting another one of these silly things — I guess I lied in the previous post. You guessed who the main character is though, right?

I was talking to Lenchik a couple of days ago. He informed me that he won some competition by being the first one to swallow a hamburger the size of his head down. He also noted that he manages to gobble up all the food that his roommate prepares right away, leaving nothing for the roommate.

So an old story about Lenchik came to my mind — “Your bananas are going to spoil…”
